“There is no question in anybody’s mind looking at that video that the shooting is not justified,' said San Antonio Police Chief William McManus.
“The video was horrific,” the chief told CNN’s Brianna Keilar. “There is no question in anybody’s mind looking at that video that the shooting is not justified.”released by the San Antonio Police Department shows probationary police officer James Brennand fire multiple rounds into a vehicle where Cantu and his 17-year-old female friend were eating after the officer said he recognized the vehicle as the same one that “fled from [him] the other day.
The body-cam video shows Cantu putting the vehicle in reverse as his open car door allegedly hits Brennand. The officer then fires shots into the car with both 17-year-olds still inside. Brennand fires more shots into the back of the vehicle as Cantu puts the car in drive and pulls out of the parking lot.
“We have a policy that prohibits officers from shooting at vehicles, moving vehicles, except if their life is in immediate, their life or someone else’s life is in immediate danger,” McManus said.
